  1. I don't believe Lefty or Righty stories unless I can glean facts from fiction and ideological claptrap.
  2. Do you believe the stories you read? In the main-stream media? Not really unless I can corroborate them myself with facts. Most of what comes out of the MSM nowadays in sensationalistic pablum that is twisted with a distinct Western, progressive liberal POV which often is just 🐂💩 and hyperbole.
  3. The Ballad of the "Big Beautiful Bill" A trillion for war, $1.2 to be exact, Iran and Yemen—new conflicts they’ve cracked, The MIC purrs, Raytheon’s stock soars, $80 billion in profits, while citizens become poor. Young blood, cannon fodder, sent to the fray, For Lockheed’s new missile, $44 billion to play, Forever wars, a corporate delight, While 45,000 bridges decay out of sight. Roads turn to rubble, highways to ash, $2.6 trillion needed, but Congress won’t splash, A mere $50 billion, a cruel little jest, For infrastructure’s corpse, laid bare in the West. Social safety nets bleed, $400 billion carved out, Medicaid’s a husk, “We The People” in rout, But campaign cash flows, $10 million a round, From Boeing, from Northrop—Congress is spellbound. They sip their champagne, in chambers of mahogany wood, Mocking the nation, as only they could, War hawks and fat cats, a devilish pact, Endless war profits, while the country is sacked. The Republic’s a husk, its bones turned to dust, War first, people last, "In MIC Do We Trust," The war pigs do banquet, a feast without cease, And the American Dream? A ghost, long deceased. -A collaborative tip of the hat to Grok3
  4. So essentially wealthy Thais aren't paying their taxes then?
  5. Will Trump bankrupt the US entirely? He seems to be working on it. But I'm betting he and his family makes billions in the process.
  6. Are you happy with your life in Thailand? Yep!
  7. It's about that time of year for us US SSA recipient to get the annual SSA Form 7162 "Are you still alive" forms. These forms are usually mailed out in May so folks should be receiving them soon. I've opened this thread to discuss issues regarding the SSA Form 7162 forms here in 2025. I checked yesterday and I haven't received my form yet.
  8. Haven't seen mine yet either. So join the club.
  9. There was no Red Notice on him. You can look Red Notices up. Nada.
  10. Ya roll the dice and take your chances. "Snakes eyes - loser! 5 years in prison." Do they still shoot traffickers in Indonesia?
  11. Ugly gals would probably make it though customs.
  12. And we all knew when this dude was beating the snot out of female boxers to win the Gold Medal. What a joke. "It's a woman!!!" No, it's a man. Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows that the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes, everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leakin' Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died Everybody talkin' to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stem rose, everybody knows Everybody knows you love me, baby Everybody knows that you really do And everybody knows that you've been faithful Give or take a night or two Everybody knows that you've been discreet But there were so many people You just had to meet without your clothes Everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, everybody knows Everybody knows that it's now or never Everybody knows that it's me or you Everybody knows that you live forever When you've done a little line or two Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows Everybody knows And everybody knows that the plague is coming Everybody knows that it's movin' fast Everybody knows that your naked man and woman Are just a shinin' artifact of the past Everybody knows the scene is dead But there's gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose What everybody knows Everybody knows you're in trouble Everybody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of Calvary To the beach at Malibu Everybody knows it's comin' apart Take one last look at this sacred heart Before it blows And everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, everybody knows Everybody, everybody knows That's how it goes, everybody knows
  13. Biological men beating the hell out of women in a boxing ring shows the complete degeneracy of modern society. TPTB have picked up where Caligula left off.
  14. More likely to drop explosives or give it the USS Liberty treatment.
  15. I have an automatic dishwasher.
  16. Exactly! You nailed it. Which is why I have no problems with the LGBT+ community in Thailand.
  17. Well - good for Thailand. The difference between Thailand and Western countries is that the Thai government doesn't shove LGBT+ down the throats of its citizens at the end of a gun. Many countries in Europe do. Thailand as a nation really are just accepting of their gay community. So am I. I've no problem with the LGBT+ community as long as it's a choice as opposed to an indoctrination and as long as the LGBT+ respect those of us who are straight and happy to be heterosexual. So far in Thailand - so good. Everyone is happy except perhaps some of the Christian types who really do think that LGBT+ folks are da*med to Hell and have zero tolerance. My own view? Live and let live.
